Here are links to a couple interesting items posted by Jorn here some time ago. I missed it then but had a look today and thought it worth reposting the links:

This is for the guys good with duct tape and baling twine!!Actually great idea for people who like to improvise!I found it interesting.
I posted this in the hive plans construction tips forum also!

Hi James,
The bees  are doing great! How about yours?
We are going to get into the hives today for some fresh photos for buzzbee jr's  presentation at school on Friday!

i love the mold making idea but....how do you get the right thickness of the  foundation and how do you align the two model sheets once the wax is inbetween?!?!
